Need help choosing Mill

[Zacevans]

I have $120 for a mill. I am not sure which one to get. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind to buy and where to order it from? Advice is appreciated. Thanks

Most people will say the Barley Crusher or Monster, but if you can wait a month, I'd recommend the Cereal Killer from Adventures in Homebrewing. I just got it for Xmas, and it works great. For $90, you can use the rest of the $ to get a dedicated corded drill from Harbor Freight to power it.

Be aware, the Cereal Killer is currently having major issues with the rollers being out of round. I cannot recommend it based on the one I received. Let's hope that the production delay is from the manufacturer resolving this defect before putting it back on the market.

Where is a good place to buy the Barley crusher? What kind of warranty does it have?

Ah that sucks. Were the rollers visibly wobbly when you got it?

I got a Barley Crusher with 7# hopper. My only regret is not getting the bigger hopper.

Yeah, I could visibly see part of the active roller change in round as I turned it by hand. Measuring with a feeler gauge confirmed a .017" variance.
